A River’s Last Chance

Sponsored by Hyde Park Partners / Susan Hirsch & Tom Sant

The Eel River in Northern California is one of the most unique, diverse and dynamic rivers in America and it is perhaps one of our last best chances for wild salmon abundance on the West Coast. But it is also in jeopardy. Flowing through some of the world’s largest redwood forests, it has weathered decades of abusive logging, over-fishing, catastrophic floods and a hydropower dam. And now it’s being threatened by the booming cannabis business and the multi-billion-dollar wine industry. Beautifully shot, this is a timely and important film – a must see for anyone who cares about the future of our rivers. 67 min. USA. Watch the trailer here
